Abstract

ROMA MILLAN, Josep. The reflection as a central axis for the professional development. Educ. méd. [online]. 2007, vol.10, n.1, pp.30-36. ISSN 1575-1813.

Professional development is a new concept that has arisen recently instead of the more traditional one of continuing education. Professional development goes beyond traditional activities that are included as well. Personal progress in decision taking facing complex problems is considered as crucial to understand this new concept of professional development. Reflection is the core activity in professional development. Contextual and social aspects of health problems need to integrate the construct of reflection. Learning organizations are models of companies that know how to incorporate its resources and results in order to promote reflection between their professionals. Finally some comments on main concrete activities centred on reflection are done. Self-audit, peer-review and portfolio are some of the examples exposed.
